What Are the Benefits of Laser Skin Rejuvenation?

The history of lasers for skin rejuvenation is quite remarkable. The basic idea of laser technology was originally discovered by a German theoretical physicist named Max Planck in 1900 when he theorized that the light was made up of smaller pieces of energy called quantum. During the 1960s, doctors began to use laser treatments in clinical applications for the first time. Researchers discovered that lasers could be used for treating pigmented lesions, and as science advanced, the Nd:YAG laser was developed to treat vascular lesions. Considering its history, is laser light good for the skin? Our Los Angeles-based team of board-certified dermatologists know that patients who are interested in cosmetic treatments are often curious about whether laser therapy can truly benefit them.

The answer is yes. Fraxel^® DUAL laser at our practice targets surface irregularities while also promoting rejuvenation in the deeper layers of skin. In modern times, laser skin resurfacing procedures treat various types of skin irregularities and imperfections. They reduce wrinkles, spots, and uneven textures that occur due to sun damage, aging, or exposure to other stressors. They create stunning results, are more effective than ever, and are also safer than ever before.

Laser skin resurfacing procedures have many benefits, including:

• Treating one or more skin concerns at the same time
• Treatments can be fully customized based on the patient’s needs to target specific areas or concerns
• Reducing telltale effects of aging such as fine lines and wrinkles
• Clearing dark spots caused by aging, acne, sun exposure, or hormonal causes for a more even, balanced, and uniform skin tone
• Improving skin elasticity by promoting the production of collagen to tighten sagging skin
• Reducing frustrating scars caused by acne, trauma, or surgery
• Minimizing enlarged pores for a more even, uniform skin tone
• Treating rough skin patches caused by a common condition called actinic keratosis

Fraxel^® DUAL laser treatments produce a subtle and soft look for those who want to look younger in a single treatment but don’t want dramatic changes. They produce excellent results with minimal downtime. This laser is designed to treat only a fraction of the skin at a time while leaving some skin intact to promote rapid healing.
